GENESIS ELECTRIFIED G80 - THE BENCHMARK FOR ELECTRIC LUXURY SALOONS?

EV Channels Review

The Genesis Electrified G80 receives a significant update, focusing on enhancing its core strengths of luxury, comfort, and refinement. The reviewer highlights the improved rear interior space, a more modern yet user-friendly technology interface, and a larger battery leading to increased range (354 miles WLTP). While the styling remains elegant, the abundance of chrome trim might be polarizing. A key criticism is the disappointingly small 330L boot. The driving experience is praised for its exceptional quietness, smooth ride, and comfortable suspension, making it a superb cruiser, though the steering lacks directness, suggesting it's not aimed at sport saloon enthusiasts. The reviewer commends the 'chauffeur mode' for its smooth braking and the overall refined driving experience. Despite a price increase, the enhanced standard equipment and improved features are deemed to offer better value. The exceptional after-sales care and warranty are also significant selling points. Ultimately, the Electrified G80 is positioned as a compelling alternative for those prioritizing comfort and luxury over overt sportiness, standing out from its German rivals.
